Antique English Axminster Rug, 19th century Made in the grand neo-classical European tradition, this spectacular Axminster was England's response to the Savonnerie carpets produced for the French elite. It displays a series of concentric cartouche medallions with rich egg-and-dart and astragal moldings reminiscent of stuccoed and frescoed ceiling decor, Lovely swags and garlands appear to dangle and sway across the moldings and the intervening ground surfaces in burgundy, ivory, and soft blue-green.
